Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 300 ml – 10 oz. heavy cream
  • 100 ml – 3.5 oz. milk

  • 2 tsp of sakura essence (or to taste)
  • Pink food colouring (optional)
  • 4 salt pickled sakura (optional)

Instruction

  • Put the gelatine sheets in cold water for 10 minutes.
  • Put the milk, cream and sugar in a pot and heat it on the fire, stirring gently until the sugar melts.
  • Add the pink colour and sakura essence, and mix.
  • Squeeze the extra water out of the gelatine leaves and add them into the hot cream mixture. Stir well to dissolve.
  • Pour into your serving glasses and keep them in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  • To remove the salt from the sakura flowers, gently rinse them and soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes.

  • Top the panna cotta with a sakura flour just before serving.
